Festival or Car festival, this is one of the most awaited Hindu
festivals of the state as well as the country. The celebration of this
day starts much earlier that comprises the construction and decoration
of the Raths or Chariot by numerous devotees & volunteers. The three
chariots that are the highlights of the entire Yatra are pulled by
strings.
As part of Rath Yatra, the idols of Lord Puri Jagannath, Lord Balabhadra and Subhadra are taken out in a procession to Gundicha Temple and remain there for nine days. Then the idols or Rath Yatra returns to Puri Jagannath temple. The return journey of Puri Jagannath Rath Yatra is known as Bahuda Yatra.
Ratha Yatra is the only day when devotees (such as non-Hindus and foreigners) can get glimpse of the deities. During the festival, devotees from all over the World go to Puri with an earnest desire to help pull Lords' chariot. Three richly decorated chariots, resembling temple structures, are pulled through the streets of Puri. This commemorates the annual journey of Lord Jagannath, Lord Balarama, and their sister Subhadra to, the Gundicha Temple.

The huge, colourfully decorated chariots are drawn by multitude of devotees on the bada danda, the grand avenue to the Gundicha Temple.
